"SMOKING CESSATION IN PSYCHIATRIC AND ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITIES:

Policies and Clinical Considerations"

A two-hour training on

compact disc with resource materials:

Many hospitals and other treatment settings have been looking for ways to reduce the health impact of smoking in their facilities. Many jurisdictions are now requiring smoke-free environments. Studies have shown that people with mental illnesses consume 45% of the cigarettes smoked in the United Staets and that those with serious mental illnesses die -- on average -- 25 years earlier than the general population. About 72% of persons with alcoholism are heavy smokers, researchers report. However, designing and implementing smoke-free policies in psychiatric and addiction treatment settings raises many clinical and administrative questions. This CD explores both policy and clinical considerations of concern to facilities' clinical and administrative leadership. The faculty includes representatives of treatment facilities that have moved to smoke-free environments as well as national experts from the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at the University of California, San Francisco, who are working to address the specific challenges facing psychiatric and substance use patients.
